I've been tinkering and playing with Haskell recently and am really liking it, but I'm trying to think of a program or something to write in Haskell to try things. I've done things like guards, list comprehensions, and even a bit about Monads.

Can anybody recommend a good idea? Something that would be good to test my chops on?

There's a page that describes how to build a lisp interpreter in Haskell. Because it's only an tutorial, the Lisp interpreter at the end only supports numbers. How about following the tutorial through and understanding how the interpreter words, then expanding it to support strings, and add some more functionality to it. Experiment a bit.

This might be a bit complex, but it might be worth a try.

Thanks, I've seen the customary "Scheme/Lisp in Haskell" tutorials before, including that one, but I couldn't ever find that one again. :p

I also found some of the "Programming Haskell" tutorials on http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~dons/blog/ to be quite informative. Particularly the arguement handling bit on a reverse cat program; it was a good example of monadics going into work (which is what I've been wanting to see.)

I'll look around some more, thanks!

Take whatever you might like to write in C or C++ or some language like that, and write it in Haskell.
